“Reggie Asks” Nintendo TVii interview coming tomorrow
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata has been interviewing development teams behind the company’s big games for several years now in the well-known “Iwata Asks” columns. Starting with the 3DS, the series has expanded to include third-party studios as well.
Fans should be on the lookout for something completely different tomorrow. Nintendo of America will release a spinoff talk of sorts, called “Reggie Asks”, in which NOA president Reggie Fils-Aime talks with the team behind the upcoming Wii U app Nintendo TVii.
This makes you wonder – will it be a one-time thing or something more? In any case, it should be a fun read.

Nintendo TVii can’t access DVR content – at least at launch
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo TVii launches tomorrow in North America, but it will be missing a few features.
Today’s press release confirmed that Netflix and TiVo support isn’t set to arrive until early 2013. The app won’t be able to access content from a DVR either.
Nintendo of America’s director of network business, Zach Fountain, told the New York Times that it would like to see this realized, but it first needs to reach deals with companies such as Comcast and/or DirecTV.
“We’d love to have DVR integration but we can’t do that without assistance. We’re in discussions to cover that time-shifting portion.”
Fountain also commented on how Nintendo wishes to deliver “a persistent, consistent experience.”
“We don’t believe you should have to change your app when you change the program. TV shows have apps, networks have apps, sports leagues have apps… We want to create a persistent, consistent experience.”
Reggie adds that Nintendo wants the GamePad to become “the super aggregator and super remote.”

Iwata: Wii U system update, loading time issues to be addressed
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
During the start of tonight’s Nintendo Direct, Satoru Iwata briefly spoke a bit about issues concerning the Wii U. Even with the latest firmware update, users have still been complaining about system update and program start loading times. Good news: both of these issues will be addressed, Iwata said.
The Nintendo president also talked about Wii U stock availability in Japan. Iwata apologized for shortages surrounding the Wii U Premium Set, but it sounds like consumers will simply need to deal with the situation for now and wait for additional units to arrive.
